In this section is a list of organisations, most local to Derby and some national, that may be able to help you. When seeking a counsellor or other form of support please bear in mind that there are many counsellors, psychotherapists, coaches, organisations and therapeutic approaches so to help you find the right person or organisation ask questions, meet up with them if you can, and see how you feel.

There are a lot of organisations listed here so I’ve sub-divided them into separate pages to help focus your search – just click on the heading below and it’ll automatically take you to that page. Please note that these lists are not exhaustive. There is a lot of support out there and if you don’t find what you’re specifically looking for here I suggest undertaking an internet search or seeing what your local GP Surgery or Clinic has available.

Note to charities, organisations, bloggers etc: I do not respond to requests for inclusion on these links pages.
